Denker, Robert; Stewart, Bob R.
In addition to an eight-page narrative, this final report contains materials and products from phase 2 of a project to develop, disseminate, and implement a three-year sequenced individualized and group instructional program in financial management for adult/young farmers in vocational agriculture. The narrative section discusses the four project objectives and findings/conclusions. These activities are described: dissemination of phase 1 findings and materials to adult educators of vocational agriculture through 30 workshops; teacher implementation of Unit I of the Farm Business Management Analysis program in 47 schools; development of Unit II, Analyzing the Farm Business; and identification of computer decision-making programs. Attachments include workshop materials, including evaluation; evaluation instruments for Unit I and responses; and Unit II. This 377-page unit contains 10 self-contained lessons with material for the monthly classroom session and on-the-farm instructional activity. Topics include tax planning and management, cash flow analysis, crop and livestock enterprise analysis, credit utilization, profit/loss analysis, and machinery, equipment, and building cost analysis. Major components of each lesson are review, objective, motivation, key points, introduction of information, group discussion, conclusions, announcements, social, on-the-farm instruction, and teaching materials (transparencies, handouts, etc.). Quizzes appear after most lessons. (YLB)
